Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Unnecessary angst over early reading?

The LOGs bother me because the actual IQ scores of the kids seem to be all over the map within the same levels. I realize that tests and kids differ, but I don't understand her actual algorithm. It appears to be "If your kid sounds like these kids, that's his/her level," which seems...unscientific.

My DD tested MG, but looks more like a level 3 if you go by Ruf's milestones and so on. I do think the book is interesting, but more in a "Oh, someone is actually talking about kids who are like my kid!" kind of way. It really seems to be just one person's opinion. The whole picture is so much more complex.
